[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkmage1991:
eclair-xtrsense

froyo- froshedyo or THErom if you don't need gps

gingerbread- gingertazz

out of them i think the fastest and most stable is xtrsense 5.0.1
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chlila:
My votes:

Eclair - xtrSENSE

Froyo - FroShedYo

Gingerbread - GSB (GingerShedBread)

She will probably experience the fewest problems with xtrSENSE 5.0.1. This ROM is smooth!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truelove79:
GSB is extremely stable. I know it's just CM7 RC1 (or is it RC2), but I've not had one problem with it. My wife has it too on her Eris.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
Yea its rc2 now. :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
As always, +1 xtrSENSE.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjlyons:
I vote CELB froyo. Used it for months and never had any issues with it, solid as a rock.

I've been using GSB for a while now, but I still feel like CELB is a little more stable (probably because it's not synced from nightly CM sources).
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the kid escobar:
I like GSB. XTRsense was cool, but I had major video playback issues so I couldn't deal with it anymore.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwonka69:
Tazz gingerbread

I will give a shoutout for Tazz's Gingerbread. everything works great he is on version 16 and it is smooth and fast.

JMHO.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGratefulDead:
this is the Q&A section bud haha. and i rock ginger tazz i personally get the best batterylife compared to gsb. but both are great
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CPCookieMan:
Yay I got a vote! I've found the fix for GPS but that broke Wifi so... once I get it all sorted out there will be a no-wipe update from V0.13. Ivan's Eris Official V1.0 is really good if you want a stock nice stable rom. No fluff there, and you will have to manually apply patches like overclock if you want them. Not too shabby overall.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slane35:
I love GSB but for a simple easy to use & stable ROM I'd go with xtrSense. HTC sense is beautiful imo, and if I remember correctly, xtrSense is built in overclocked to 710.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmckenzie:
I've been using VanillaTazz for 2.2 and haven't had any problems at all with it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SCWells72:
I pretty much have the same question. Recently I've made my first foray into Android with a NOOKcolor on which I've installed CM7 with an OCed kernel, etc., all running from SD card so that I don't touch the stock ROM on eMMC. I have a good friend with a Droid Eris who is VERY frustrated with its stability and speed, so I thought I'd see what options were available for it.

I can work with her on the differences between Eclair, Froyo, and Gingerbread to decide on a version of the OS to install, but I wanted to know if any of these distributions can be run strictly off of SD card so that the phone's internal state isn't affected while we do some "test drives". I have a feeling she won't want to do this if there's a reasonable chance it could screw up her phone, and the easiest way to reassure her of that is to show her that when the SD card isn't inserted, it's still her original phone.

Thanks much!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neera:
I would recommend workshed's GSB ROM:

[ROM][3/28/2011] GSB v2.4 | GingerBread 2.3.3 [CM7.0.0 RC3 NIGHTLY]

I have been using it for a few days now and it is smooth and brought new life to my little Eris ;)

Fairly new to rooting, but been lurking here and playing with the thought for a long time, so finally decided to do it.

Was super easy and now I am asking myself why I didn't do a year ago!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You still had to root the Nook, though, didn't you, before you could run a ROM from the SD card? The simple answer is that yes, there is some way to run ROMs from the Eris' SD card, but as far as I know, you have to root the Eris to do this first. If you're going to go to that length, from there it's easier to just go ahead and flash a real ROM instead of opting to boot one from the SD card. Less steps.

xtrSENSE is based on the Eris stock ROM, but is overclocked for performance, underclocked to save battery, and has some other tweaks to make it faster than the stock ROM.

Don't get me wrong, I run the GSB ROM noted in the post before mine, but it would be far less culture shock and might be all she needs to keep her happy to run xtrSENSE since it is just like a hopped up version of the original ROM.

If she likes that for a while, and she feels experimental, then I would suggest GSB at a later date.

There are many simple ways to root the Eris, I believe there may be even an app on the market to do so. I don't know the details of how to run an Eris ROM from the SD card, for that you'll have to look in the Eris development section.

Probably the easiest way to root the Eris is by using the Universal 1 Click Eris Root App Apk - No PCs, No Scripts Needed, EASY. You can download it from the Android Market. It's under the name "HTC Eris 1 Click Root App". Read the instructions at the link I gave you.

[ROM][GPL][3/15/2011] xtrSENSE5.0.1 [cache2cache,apps2sd,oc,jit]-HTC Sense is the link to the one I recommend. IMHO it's best for beginners because it is so close to the original ROM, yet so much faster.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SCWells72:
Actually, you don't have to root the NOOKcolor to use other ROMs. The NC gives boot priority to the SD card slot, so if there's a bootable OS on the card then it's used instead of the internal storage. Right now I have fully stock NOOKcolor 1.1 (which is based on Eclair) and CM7 on SD card.

Yeah, I just discussed this type of staged approach with my friend as well, so that's what I'm going to do. Thanks for the "Rooting Eris for Dummies" links! Those will be very helpful.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome. Oh, that's neat about the Nook. Unfortunately you can't do that with the Eris.
[Touch HD General] xiaomian:
wajk you have done a great job for HD, I've start use it since V4.5 and impressed me with great performence. The only little thing annoying me is the memmaid v2.3 the utility I used frequently, and both button "goto" & "tool" are actually worked as "goto" which caused me no way to use it's advanced setting. Have any idea to help me fix it? Thanks again:p

Is there any way to download a smooth circle battery to any of the ROMs on here or will it just mess up the ROM?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
As far as I know the circle battery comes with themes and not alone. At least I haven't seen the option of just flashing the circle battery, I could be wrong.

So, either download a theme or create your own and dont ask me how lol.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolsid8:
I was trying to edit the following files:

framework-res.apk\res\drawable\stat_sys_battery.xml & stat_sys_battery_charge.xml file in the frost and minimalistic b/w time but the contents are unreadable.

I also downloaded a theme from htc_desire for this battery circle mod and copied its xml files to the frost theme,after that there was no battery icon in the notification bar.

Can any one else give it a try ??
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] -RioT-:
I was at target today and found one of these in the ipad section. So far im pretty impressed. It cuts down on finger prints and it's more accurate. It also makes copying and pasting a lot easier. I really missed using a stylus with all these fancy new capacitive screens (not that I miss resistive screens).

Sometimes it doesn't register but all and all it's great. If you are thinking about grabbing one of these, go for it.

http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-Technology-Stylus-iPhone-touchscreens/dp/B0041D0K1Q
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Declan79:
is it because the stylus shape is circle rather than square that make more comfortable to respond?
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] -RioT-:
Honestly I haven't tried another yet. I think the circle is easier to predict where it will touch I guess.

I would however like a smaller point.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] natious:
is it laggy if you try and draw with it
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Flokey:
I picked up the official samsung stylus... hmm it is okay but (I don't know if it is just the screen-protector, but that will also play it's part in the whole thingy) drawing is laggy and inaccurate...

Still a good addition for marking text etc...
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] natious:
I wonder why drawing is laggy with them yet using your finger isn't. :/

swyped from a galaxy far far away...
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Flokey:
Maybe it is because of interpolation... the finger has a way larger area which has contact to the screen and so there is a denser flow of information and valid (contact)points... the stylus is rather small, so there will be a lot of skipped points... the touchscreen software/driver has to interpolate the missing data and more skipped information means more lag... that's what I would guess.. :-/
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Declan79:
just like the circle stylus, work fine

Sent from my DJ Galaxy
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] -RioT-:
I had to download a drawing app. Seems to be ok. I really expected lag or something but it worked just fine. Better than other uses I guess. I sometimes get a dead tap unless I press fairly hard. Drawing worked pretty well.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Declan79:
after view days using it the circle stylus, it happened the circle get boldy and lack of responsed:rolleyes:

I have a rooted dell streak 7, flashed with clockwork mod recovery. today i went to download the over the air update t-mobile sent out for the dell streak 7 and the phone froze, when i reset it it loaded to clockwork mod and i can't get it to load the normal OS now. no matter how many times i reset it. I even went so far as to format the /system, /cache and all the others trying to get it to boot pass the CMW recovery screen and nothing works. any suggestions would be helpful.

CMW boot loop problem

Hey Guy,

I am having the same issue..when try too adb commad it return:

fail with error -1

please help
[Dell Streak 7] white99:
thanks for the reply. this is all very new for me, but, in general i can usually handle my own tech stuff.

so let me just ask a real basic question. if I can open ADB and send commands to the phone through a DOS prompt, then that would mean the ADB shell is working, is that correct?
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
No you have to type "adb shell" and see if that works
[Dell Streak 7] gabriel71:
Hi I am having the same issue..........but not working...... CMW recovery screen and nothing works. any suggestions would be helpful.

that is correct I abble to see device through adb....I typed adb shell and get a #...I type the command above and it return fail error....

Should have the boot.img and recovery img on my external sd card or internal sd card

[Dell Streak 7] chris73:
Thank sooo much for help...I think I missing the highlighted steps below

this guide is for those who still have Clockwork Mod Recovery still on device you can thank bogdi1988 for his work and orginal guide here :

http://xdaforums.com/show...5&postcount=76

BUT THIS MAY WORK FOR OTHERS IF YOU KNOW HOW TO MOUNT SYSTEM AND DATA AND THOSE THINGS FROM ADB

but to simplify I did this :

stock images

recovery.img

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2252176/recovery.img

boot.img

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2252176/boot.img

Once in recovery mount everything you can system , data , cache , everyrthing besides sd card

then go into command prompt and type adb shell make sure its working if you still have root it will show # if not it will show $ I believe no biggie as long as it picks up in shell.

then type : flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p2 /sdcard/boot_orig.img

then type : flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /sdcard/recovery_orig.img

select reboot from the recovery. now it will reboot and it will format misc and it will reboot again.

bogdi1988 suggest flash all images over again in fastboot

in this order

system.img

recovery.img

boot.img

thanks go to everyone who has a dell streak 7 that was willing to try all these hacks and risking your devices for the greater good of the streak

P.S. I will post system.img in a second

Also for fastboot help thank bogdi1988 again heres his post that helped me

[Dell Streak 7] dharmabum:
I was able to get the stock boot.img back on the device- however the recovery.img did not take after an unsuccessful update on a CW/rooted device. Now I have a partially corrupt device that I cannot get passed the FCs on... I cannot even get as far as to set the USB mount in debug. I can get ADB shell to see it and execute commands- however no dice on on recovery.

I can only gain read access to the file system on the device while running as well. ANyone have any thoughts on how to to push or write the recovery image so I can reflash this thing? Thanks for everything already.
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
Dont flash update with cwm recovery you can only flash custom roms with custom recovery
[Dell Streak 7] white99:
when you say mount /system and /cache. is that through the ADB bridge? or the CMW recovery screen on the dell streak?

[Dell Streak 7] white99:
thanks for all your help so far. I can run the ADB shell successfully and get the # on my dos prompt. I go in and mount /cache, /data, and /system on the streak itself, through the CMW "mounts and storage" screen. and i have copied both the uploaded files, boot and recovery, to my external SD card. but whenever i type the command in, i get "failed with error: -1"
[Dell Streak 7] white99:
would me having formatted the drives change what i need to type here : "flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p2 /sdcard/boot_orig.img" ?

i don t think you was suppose to format:confused:
[Dell Streak 7] white99:
I know. this was back when the problem first occured. did it in a bit of a panic trying to get past the CMW boot screen. i'm just wondering if the "flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p2 /sdcard/boot_orig.img" would need to change at all considering the mistake.

[G2 and Desire Z General] H4rry:
hi,

I want to root my Desire Z as I would like to use Titanium Back Up Pro. I have checked thru the threads here. And, well, I am totally confused.

On TheRomMistress's great sticky there are 27 guides with at least 11 dealing with rooting the phone. Some of these guides refer you to other guides and these refer you to yet more guides for various reasons (updates etc).

I know a lot of the guides were initially worked out before the whole NAND lock was cleared up.

So my question is which guide should a noob follow to get root?

I love the whole android experience, love Sense and think my phone is all shiny, sparkly etc. I may want at a later stage to try out some of the other ROMs but so far I really love stock (heck, my previous phone was a windows 2003 Magician with BigStorage courtesy of XDA!!). I just want to be able to back it up.

Thanks for your help guys.
[G2 and Desire Z General] elliott2705:
personally i used this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843014

worked well once i had reset my phone and made sure my sd card was clean. Read up on adb before you attempt though so you know what is happening at each stage, it makes the whole process easier. And if things don't work as expected you'll be able to sort it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
The method listed in the official Wiki is the one recommended by most people nowadays: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#OTA_Updates.

It is generally considered the "safe" way to attempt root at this point. There were reports of semi-bricks caused by the permroot function in Visionary so general consensus is not to use it. For other guides (such as the one linked to earlier), if you have a typo while flashing the engineering HBOOT, you could cause a semi-brick as well (though if you follow the instructions carefully, it shouldn't be a problem).

A typo with the Wiki method shouldn't lead to a semi-brick though. It also has the added benefits of not only giving you root, but also true radio S-OFF, SuperCID, and subsidy unlock (if your phone was originally locked to a specific carrier).

That being said, as long as you read carefully and follow instructions, you should be fine following most any of the guides.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattwod:
I have had a nexus S running stock for about 3 weeks now, I manually updated to 2.3.3.

So far I am unimpressed with the battery life, however this is my first Android device. Anyway in my attempts at improving battery life I have been directed to Spare Parts>Battery History to see what has been causing the phone to stay awake.

The Problem is that any time I try to open it I get an error and an option to force close or report, the same happens when I use Any Cut to create a shortcut to Battery Use Details,

Is this a common problem on the Nexus S? Or is it related to Gingerbread 2.3.3?

Is there any other way to see what is causing the phone to stay awake?

Thanks!
